the issue i remember keep coming up is that there still isn't an actually good matrix client that approximates discord's layout. the basic logic of a community being on a "server" with multiple channels people freely swap between , with maybe some voice channels that are compeltely disconnected from the text channels, still isn't actually implemented because matrix still operates on IRC logic where every single channel is supposed to be a community unto itself. element's spaces feature is a very poor substitute, and withotu that basic killer feature i don't see any mass migration happening anytime soon.

yeah unfortunately it's extremely easy to come to a reductionist conclusion that because someone - even a disabled person that's just kinda lib - said something that utterly dismisses the welfare of workers that then that means the literal words used are meaningless and bourgoise. food delivery - whether that be by shitty corporations charging an obscene surchrage, defunded programs like meals on wheels, or preferably you motherfuckers reading this right now constantly talking about how there's no praxis for you to do getting on a fucking bike - is going to be part of a much larger structure of care for everyone, and relying on a strict medicalist definition of "disabled" through diagnosis will make shit much worse. make sure your neighbors are actually eating, even the ones you really don't fucking like, because people don't deserve to live or die based on whether you personally get along with them, and creating the dual power structures that enable everyone to continue existing as the US continues to crumble apart is going to be vital to any attempt at revolution.

buy them refurbished for like $300 if you don't want OLED. the cheapest OLED is $500, but as people break theirs and/or get bored you'll start finding those refurbisehd too for a good price. get the cheapest one with the screen you want and slap a better NMVe drive in there, or if you're too scared to open it then buy an SD card for it.

Nothing like a computer illiterate jackass getting a permission slip from a computer to go be racist, so the store can pretend the massive humiliating scene they caused was entirely the fault of not reading the computer right.

Just as systemic racism isn't the result of one individual with bad intent that could be taken out to fix it, AI isn't any different than any other bureaucratic tool. They get trained on racist data, but the very goal of going after "likely shiplifters" is a racist end. Anyone that works retail knows how often managers are calling over radio asking you to keep an eye out for a black guy wearing a shirt. AI isn't really introducing new racism where less existed before, it just creates an excuse for the racism that it was totally the computer and not vague guidelines about "suspicious activity" we get told to look for with the complete understanding they mean black people who park too close to the store.

God, TES lore in the hands of Obsidian with an actually supportive publisher behind them would make me overlook the aging engine.

tech CEO's that refuse to release the source code of medical devices should be tried and convicted on crimes against humanity and face execution. only by releasing the source code can they be freed.
